JB Machinery Wins FEFCO Silver For Best Innovation
forget it. “We would like to thank FEFCO and all those who se- lected us for this prestigious award,” says Warren Bird, President of JB Machinery.
Westport, Connecticut based JB Machinery was present- ed FEFCO’s Silver Award for Best Innovation at the 2023 Technical Seminar in Lyon, France. In his technical presentation, Dave Burgess, JB Machin- ery’s Director of Sales, detailed the theory of operation and benefits of AutoDryer Control, JB’s latest innovation. AutoDryer Control (ADC), is a system designed to re- duce energy consumption on IR dryer systems. JB Machin- ery reports that ADC has proven to reduce energy con- sumption by at least 20 percent on installed systems with some users reporting dramatically higher energy savings. The system, which is available on new JB dryer instal- lations as well as an upgrade to existing ColorDry XL3000 dryer systems, helps optimize the power usage to provide optimal drying with minimal power consumption. ADC automatically adjusts power levels to maintain a global temperature setpoint for the surface of the sheet. The system uses a learned algorithm based on substrate, ink, machine speed and other variables. After the initial job setup, operators rarely need to touch it again. Now, the appropriate dryer power is used to obtain optimum drying efficiency instead of blasting ev- ery dryer at 100 percent or tinkering with the power set- ting throughout the order. The operators just turn it on and
“Bringing this successful product to the market was a team effort. We would also like to thank McLean Packag- ing and the VPK Group for facilitating our early testing, our XDS Holdings team, for their development and pace to market and of course our customers who continue to be true partners in our mutual success.” For more information, visit jbmachinery.com/autodry- er-control or call (203) 544-0101.
